Non-studded tyres for safe winter driving

When you want to drive safely, and in some countries legally, in winter you will need to have winter tyres on your vehicle. The tyres should be mounted before the winter weather arrives, so that you can remain safe while driving. When you talk about non-studded tyres, they are so called tyres that are dedicated for winter use. They are called non-studded to differentiate them from the studded tyres, that are also dedicated winter tyres, but they use metal studs to create grip.

Non-studded tyres should not be confused with winter
approved all-weather tyres that can be used during the winter seasons but can
also be used for all year round driving. The non-studded tyres should be removed
and replaced with summer tyres once the winter season is over. They use a
rubber compound that is optimized for keeping the tyre soft and agile even at
low temperatures, but will wear too quickly if used during hot summers. This is
why it is important to change the tyres once the winter season has passed.

Non-studded tyres use the tread design to create enough
friction on snow, ice and slush so that you can enjoy trouble free safe
driving. They use innovative sipes and snow claw functionality between the
shoulder and tread blocks that can grip the ice and have cryo-crystal grip
particles to further improve the grip on ice.

The non-studded tyres are great for winter driving and offer
a lot of flexibility. The non-studded tyres are not regulated as when you can
mount them on your car, so that you can mount them well in time before the
winter arrives, so that you don’t end up with summer tyres trying to drive in
winter conditions. This can be a very dangerous situation and should be
avoided. You shouldn’t drive with non-studded tyres all year round, as they are
optimized for winter conditions and they will wear out faster if used in summer
conditions. However, placing them on your car a few weeks too early before the
winter arrives is a very low price to pay for the extra safety of having the
right tyres already mounted on your car so that you are ready to drive if you
end up in winter conditions. This is very good if you are really dependent on
your car every day.
